1958 Map of Konawa

About this map

The Canadian River forms a wide, meandering boundary between the northern uplands and the southern plains in this mid-century survey of the Seminole and Pontotoc county line. The town of Konawa serves as a local hub, situated where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor cuts through the eastern portion of the map. This area is heavily defined by its petroleum and agricultural history, visible through named sectors like Avoca Field, Grayson Field, and Sledge Field. Scattered rural life centers on small communities and religious sites such as Sacred Heart, Maxwell, and Antioch Ch. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in burial data, locating several distinct grounds including Vista Cem, Konawa Cem, and the uniquely named Oil Well Cem, reflecting the deep ties between the land and its industrial heritage.
